within the Golf Course. (See Vision
Committee Agreement)
Challenges & Considerations
TQLMA’s continued emphasis on fiduciary
and legal responsibilities presents the Board
with a variety of challenges. It is imperative that
the Board and advisory committees
aggressively monitor and control costs,
replace, repair and add to the current
lifestyle amenities while ensuring these
measures do not have a negative impact on
resident satisfaction. This Strategic Plan has
been developed with these considerations in
mind.

Strategic Initiatives

internal and external customers, TQLMA
intends to implement a coherent
strategy. That strategy is guided by the
follow major Board Direct ives :
3 TLQMA
Strategic Plan - 2015 though 2020
Strategic Initiatives - continued
Facility Maintenance &
Improvements-Ongoing identification
of needed repairs or improvements
to our structures, roads, recreational
facilities and common areas.
Including but not limited to water
use, drainage, front yards and
perimeter landscaping. Continuous
review of structure space allocations
and use to ensure maximum benefits
to the community. .
Financial Viability- Recognizing the
limitations the current HOA fees
impose on our operating funds.
Being mindful of and tracking the
impact on cash flow and the current
budget of previous year’s
objectives/projects. Maintain
adequate funding of reserves and an
investment strategy that maximizes
return as well as providing cash flow.
Operational Stability- Ensuring that
all Board vacancies are immediately
filled as well as all advisory
committees being fully and efficiently
staffed. Semiannual review of
Management Company performance
and practices by the Board.
Quarterly review of high impact
vendors by the appropriate advisory
committees. Identify and pursue
opportunities to increase
operational efficiencies in on-site
revenue generating assets, i.e., The
Coral Spa and Café Solaz. Including,
but not limited to, internal marketing
of events, food & beverage specials
and site tours for non-members.
Community Partnerships-The Golf Club
at La Quinta and the TLQS have direct
and lasting financial impacts on the
community. The new development
abutting Trilogy’s eastern boundary on
Monroe Avenue consisting of 93 homes
will also impact our community as does
the community of Andalusia. Avenues
need to be explored and established to
partner with these entities to further our
common goals.
Communication- identifies efficient and
effective ways to provide information to
the community; ensuring accurate
information is being distributed and
received.

6 TLQMA
Strategic Plan - 2015 though 2020
STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, OPPORTUNITIES, & THREATS (SWOT) THAT IMPACT THE TLQMA STRATEGIC PLAN
Internal
Factors
STRENGTHS Reasonable HOA dues
Location: Serene living at the base of the Santa Rosa Mountains Advisory committees consisting of involved interested Homeowners
Management company that reports to the BOD
Strong reserves & Fiscally sound Financial ` Operations Socially Inclusive Community
Crime Rate is low
Facilities: Only 13 years old
Governed by an HOA that ensures consistency
HOA supports a range of clubs and activities inside and outside the Trilogy Community
Size: Small size creates a feeling of belonging and promotes lasting relationships Golf Course: Enhances property values, promotes home sales, source of recreation & green belt
WEAKNESSES Low HOA dues could lead to special assessments Location: Distance from Highway 111, the Freeway and shopping Advisory committees drive their own agendas Construction Defect lawsuit has resulted in deferred maintenance projects Lack of Communication & Transparency TLQS cut the enhancement fee causing the monthly expenses to exceed revenue Improper Landscaping could affect costs of maintenance and curb appeal of the community Improper drainage could affect infrastructure Golf Course not owned by the Community is subject to arbitrary decisions by its owners. Difficultly of some members understanding and abiding by the governance of the CC&Rs; subject to everyone living in a gated community Some amenities are subsidized by HOA Dues Communication/Website: less than 1/3 of the Community uses the Website on a consistent basis
External Factors
OPPORTUNITIES Educate the Community to support and understand future projects. TLQS: potential funding mechanism for the Trilogy Community Study and assess the value/ revenue generating capabilities of Café Solaz and The Coral Spa Use the Golf Course Expansion to enhance value of our assets & amenities Vision Committee: Golf Course and HOA partnering & healing the rift caused by previous owner Study and evaluate the expansion of the Fitness Center along with the functions promoted by the Activities Committee
Redesign the website to encourage participation and education
Control of the Golf Course by the HOA
THREATS
Golf Course may be purchased by non-ethical/cooperative buyers
Increased costs of prolonged drought in California
Decrease in Property values due to recession in U.S. economy Decrease in Property values due to non-ethical/uncooperative golf course owners Possible disillusion of TLQS resulting in loss of funding for Common Area Landscaping Decline of the Salton Sea leading to Air Quality, Health Issues and Property Values

Strategic Plan - 2015 though 2020
SUGGESTING, IMPLEMENTING & REVIEWING
Guidelines for Suggesting a Strategic Initiative
Any individual; resident, committee member, or staff member can suggest a project or
initiative. The suggestion or initiative will be assigned to the appropriate framework of the
Board Directives for leading the community.
Facility Maintenance & Improvement
Financial Viability
Operation Stability
Community Partnerships
Communication
Suggestions or initiatives can be given to any committee, Board, or staff member.
Guidelines for Implementing a Strategic Initiative All suggestions are filtered through the appropriate existing committees or subcommittee. A subcommittee can be established by the board or committee to further develop an initiative. I.e. the Vision committee and Dog Park committee. Further development does not constitute automatic implementation. I.e. Budget constraints, change in community needs/wants, or prohibitive costs.
Review Process by Committees & Board All initiatives are reviewed at the committee level with support of the committee Board Liaisons. The Board accepts and agrees on initiatives and sends them back to committee for further study. Further study includes an assessment of need versus want, quantity/number of the community that has requested and supported an initiative, the availability of funds and the funding source.
